Medieval Historical Fiction Novel of the Week

“The absorbing tale of Angus Og MacDonald, Lord of the Isles, set in the turbulent days of Robert the Bruce. Angus Mor, Lord of the Isles, had a son, Alexander of Islay. The boy was too studious to be the warrior needed to rule that far-flung island, and knowing this, Angus Mor raised his grandson to be lord. That grandson, Angus Og MacDonald, became the semi-independent prince of the Hebrides and much of the West Highland Mainland, as well as an active supporter of Robert the Bruce, chief of chiefs. He was also a man who sought peace and prosperity for his scattered people, encouraging trade, and seeking to resolve feuds among clans. The Isleman is his story.”
